sinatraa still banned from VALORANT Champions Tour

Representatives of Riot Games commented on the information about the admission of sinatraa to the competitive scene. The company assured that the player is still prohibited from performing on the VALORANT Champions Tour, while the esportsman himself received incorrect information about his future in the discipline.

On Thursday, April 14, our team became aware of an email sent by one of its members incorrectly stating that sinatraa could return to competition without undergoing professional conduct training.

We have informed Mr Vaughn that, contrary to this report and in accordance with our rules, he must undergo professional conduct training. We started working with Mr Vaughn to complete his training.

The allegations made in this matter are among the most significant that can be brought against a person and we take all such allegations very seriously. We would like to apologize to our community for the mistake we made. We have launched an internal investigation with Riot Games staff and are reviewing our policies and procedures to ensure similar errors do not occur in the future.

Recall that the player was accused by his ex-girlfriend Cleo Hernandez of sexual assault. This was followed by a police investigation, which was later dropped by the victim. Immediately after receiving the letter, sinatraa expressed his desire to return to the stage, while the player himself began to be associated with a return to the Sentinels.

sinatraa was the founding member of the original Sentinels roster formed in the spring of 2020. However, in early 2021, the 22-year-old player's ex-girlfriend brought sexual assault allegations against him, resulting in sinatraa being suspended from the competitive scene for six months. After serving his sentence, the esportsman returned to the Sentinels, but only as a streamer, since at that time the team did not need to change its lineup.
